Minecraft 1.12 Pre-Release 1

We're so close to 1.12 now that we feel like it's time for a pre-release! We expect to have at least another pre-release next week, but if all goes well and no critical bugs are found then a full release is fairly imminent!

Functions are a list of commands, one line per command, with //comment (or #comment) support

Added new "/function namespace:file" command

Added new gamerule "gameLoopFunction", a function to be executed once per tick

Added "hidden" field to advancement display info, defaults to false

To get snapshots, open your launcher and go to the "launch options" tab. Check the box saying "Enable snapshots" and save. To switch between the snapshot and normal version, you can find a new dropdown menu next to the "Play" button. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (In the "launch options" page).

Going to be fun messing around with the update. Jowever in my own unpopular opinion, I feel like the update took too long, and spent too much time on random things that didn't need to be in the game. Such as the text-to-speech. I was hoping more game changing updates. Also hoping that you could do more with the parrots, but I suppose not. ;(

Guessing mostly won't if its 1.9 in particular. Lots of people still whine about the new combat.

Servers that are stuck on other versions is who knows.. some probably won't for one reason or another but probably a lot can't due to mods they really want that never got updated and things like that.

You know what, there are two types of minecraft players these days,number 1 is the newbies who wants to make the updates faster and doesn't even care about the java minecraft ecosystem(I found someone who wants the update to be like, update once a month release, and when I ask his age he truns out to be 8 and has been playing minecraft for about 3 months.). Number 2 is the long time players or veterans, they have been playing minecraft before 1.8 is released, they are the modders, resourcepack creators and other talented players, they are most likely the layers who quit minecraft and change to other games, but there are these rare ones that don't want to leave minecraft no matter what and they take all the pain everytime an update comes these veterans who never left minecraft are the real MVP.

They should only show up once per account, (And never if you just started playing instead of idling for ~6 seconds), so disabling them really wouldn't be worth the effort. (I don't think they count as advancements anyways, so toggling them is a no-go)

If it's resetting per game update, then I can see that as an annoyance, but I haven't experienced that and it'd really just be a bug that could be reported.

Yeah, people just post because reading the comments to see if anyone ELSE has experienced this problem simply doesn't make sense. Anyway, looks like this bug is quashed on the next release... hopefully tomorrow? We are rolling back out Vanilla server on my wife's orders.
